Neo Daydream · #1 27th November 2005, 11:25 PM

so B&D and Pride aren't on the (miss)understood tracklist???? NO!!! i was waiting for the album to come out so i wouldn't have to buy the single. i don't have much money! criminy!

Personally, I think they'll be on the album regardless of what the official site says. At least one of them will be.

mm...maybe that's why the album is called "missunderstood"? :lol

Coelacanth · #5 27th November 2005, 11:36 PM

Me neither lol, especially since it's not at all like Ayu to do something like that.

hopeorpain · #6 27th November 2005, 11:37 PM

I'm glad it isn't included. It leaves more room for new songs and a reason for me to uy the single itself lol.

We'll wait and see I s'pose

Maybe cause it's such a different genre, that this single is a sort of test run. She (or Avex) probably didn't want something so different to affect any sales. So if B&D is a successful single, then maybe we'll see this genre on albums in the future.

I didn't think there was an official tracklist yet. The only ones I've seen are "rumored" ones.

I bet Pride is going to make it, but B&D will probably end up as the hidden track.

That's what I am hoping for.

I think that they don't want to say that B&D and Pride are on the album, because then people won't buy the single.

mmmmmmmmm????

i don't think a previously released song like Bold&Delicious will be a hidden track, besides, historically hamasaki never done that, hidden tracks are always new: kanariya, flower garden, +...

back to the topic, i don't know how am i supposed to feel after hearing this, i mean, i intended not to buy Bold&Delicious/Pride because i thought they'll be in (miss) understood, but now when the news came out, i don't know, should i be glad or not...

if the news is true, that means hamasaki has already promoted songs for the future (after (miss) understood) when (miss) understood itself hasn't been released yet

what is she thinking?
a new strategy?

and her recent titles are DISTURBING me, the music's fine (better) but the titles are trash,

i think it will. it'd be stupid of Avex to even advertise it on the album now in the first place. it'll wait until the single died down, THEN tell them it'll be on it.

Why are some people so conviced the single B&D/Pride won't be in the new album? There's NO official tracklist yet in order for ppl to be so adamant that it surely won't be there.

Haha frig, I didn't even know it was unofficial. I didn't even look at the tracklist.

Exactly, ayumihamasakisan005.

#17 28th November 2005, 04:22 AM

Well maybe it's because the single is more closer w/ the album release date. Who would spend money on a single when both of the songs will be on the album in the coming month?

***ImpactBreaker*** · #18 28th November 2005, 09:57 AM

^a song is born was released close to the album release, still it was featured in I am...

Shiso · #19 28th November 2005, 10:48 AM

The reasons they may be not included:
- note on the official site which lists "STEP you", "is this LOVE?", "fairyland", "alterna", "HEAVEN" and "Will" as single songs on the album. Nothing about "B&D" and "Pride" being included
- the DVD contains ONLY PVs (without any photo gallery etc.). This year Hamasaki always put bonuses on singles ("my name's WOMEN" PV, "fairyland" and "HEAVEN" photo galleries) so that the DVDs from the singles won't become worthless after the release of the album. This one single has no photo gallery. One could think that the reason is that the PVs won;t be included in the album.

I am buying all singles so no "B&D/Pride" on the album would be perfect for me... however...

The reasons they may be included:
- the singles A-sides are ALWAYS put on albums ;(
- not putting these two songs on a official site with the list of other singles included in the album may be a marketing trick. Just like Ken Hirai's POP STAR. Before the single was released Ken's site was stating that the "POP STAR" song and PV won't be included in the best album. But two weeks after the release of the "POP STAR" single the Best album tracklist was reannounced and the song WAS included.

Hmmm Shiso has a point, it might be a good idea to market it that way.

Also, maybe it wasn't in that list, because the whole site is already about B&D so there was no need to include it? It would be highly irregular if she didn't add it. Like how Namie Amuro left the Speed Star off Queen of Hip-Pop.
